Demonstrate. It's a powerful word and our primary focus.

The Learning Community of Douglas and Sarpy Counties is here to build and demonstrate proven programs that change lives.

A growing number of children and families in the Omaha metro area are struggling with poverty and its impact on learning. They urgently need new ways to succeed.
